2021 Hyundai Palisade vs. 2021 Kia Telluride
2021 Hyundai Palisade
vs 2021 Kia Telluride
Fresh off a year when it won the Autotrader Best New Cars for 2020, the Hyundai Palisade has a lot of expectations to live up to for 2021. And we certainly think it could be in the running for round two this year! From luxurious style to an emphasis on safety, the 2021 Hyundai Palisade brings the whole family together. With a spacious third-row (with plenty of legroom for growing teenagers), hands-on (yet hands-free) technology that emcompasses the cabin and an engine outfitted for everything from off-road adventures to stop-and-go city driving, the Palisade runs with a versatility that others in the same category don’t utilize. So if you’re looking for an upscale SUV that can handle everything life throws at you, the 2021 Hyundai Palisade is for you.
But others will try to tell you differently. The 2021 Kia Telluride had an impressive run last year, too, so let’s see just how these two models compare. See their comparison below:

These two models will have a good race this year, but we see an obvious winner with the Hyundai Palisade. The Telluride has a similar powertrain and drivetrain, but when it comes to making safety a priority above all else, the Palisade sprints ahead. Hyundai SmartSense is the cutting-edge driver assist system that provides peace of mind and protection at the same time. Features like the available Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert (Ultrasonic ROA) — lacking on the Telluride — use sonar to alert the driver of rear-seat movement so that no one gets left behind. Other features like Trailer Sway Control — again, lacking on the Telluride — stabilize the entire frame when making a big haul so everyone feels safe.
